A few weeks ago, I was introduced to an innovative concept in a way everyone may support our Military Troops who wish to follow their goals in the music and writing industry. My first reaction after reading the information on the project was, "Why hadn't anyone thought of this wonderful project previously?" Only answer was, they were not Brenda Brown.
The project is called DownloadOurTroops and it provides an outlet via I-Tunes for musical artists and authors alike to present their work. Here are the basic concepts and outline of this wonderful project.
- A site which will get universal support and promotion from all branches of the military throughout the world.A site where anyone in the world can go, read about each Member, sample his or her music and purchase what they like as singles or entire albums.
- A site that will be branch specific (Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard) allowing for each Member to have his/her own feature page within their branch of service; to tell their own story, post their photos, share their military history, have links to their social marketing sites, blog with each other and of course feature their music for sampling and sale through direct linkage to the iTunes® store.
- A site that will give back to each member a substantial share of the royalties earned for each and every single or album sale made through iTunes®.
- A site that will donate a percentage of all profits earned to worthy Veteran Support Groups.
- A site that will promote each member to many key industry decision makers, sponsors, promoters and other professionals for maximum exposure and discovery.
So what can you do in support of DownloadOurTroops. Simple - go to the site, http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/115396 - read all the information and if you are able, please donate, for without you, the people's, support the project will not exist and that would surely be a shame. And, if you are unable to donate, share the site with everyone you know.
Brenda Brown has created a way that all of us may give some sort of pay-back to many of our men and women in the military. Don't you agree?
